We have the same "issue" with our build on HPE DL380 G9.
We also used the OEM H220 card and flashed it, all works great, all 8 SATA HPE Enterprise SSDs are visible and usable including SMART status, just the LEDs don't work anymore... what a pity.
It is actually detected and visible in HP iLO 4, it just needs AMS installed on the host to display also the drives.
Not sure how/if we can fix this without using the HP firmware :( I actually did not change the BIOS of the card, it's the original one afaik.
